Still reading Levi's book every morning and still finding gems like this one. Here's a few things I noted from today's reading. I hope they encourage you as much as they did me!
- Luke 12:2, "You can't keep your true self hidden forever; before long, you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later, the mask will slip and your true face will be known."
- God's blessings are not determined by OUR behavior! God's blessings come FIRST, completely undeserved. This is what changes our behavior. We call this GRACE.
- We can't numb emotions. When we numb NEGATIVE emotions, we also numb POSITIVE emotions.
- When we put on a mask in hopes of finding acceptance, people can't love who they don't know.
- People get to know the MASK, not the real you.
- Masks keep us from receiving God's blessings!
- God can't use who you WISH you were; He uses who we REALLY are!
- It is all about what GOD thinks, not what I think!
- WHAT YOU WEAR TO OBTAIN, YOU MUST WEAR TO RETAIN!
- You don't need approval from ANYONE because the only likes that matter are from HEAVEN - and they are already yours!
- Prayer: "God give me the strength to live an unmasked life."
- Points to Ponder: My mask might be impressive but it's NOTHING compared to the fearfully and wonderfully made AUTHENTIC me that GOD MADE IN HIS IMAGE.
